Country superstar Jason Aldean has announced plans for his We Were Here 2016 tour, a 24-city run that will kick off in Moline, Illinois on Jan. 14 and stretch out until May 6 at Allentown, Pennsylvania. The tour includes three stops in Australia, and marks the first time Aldean will play the continent, although the rest of the dates are all in the U.S. The tour announcement came while Aldean was still on the road for his year-long Burn it Down Tour, which wraps on October 24. Even with a few dates left on his current tour, next year's dates are already notably pricey, as Jason Aldean tickets are currently averaging $230 on the secondary ticket market. His We Were Here 2016 Tour will feature opening act Thomas Rhett & A Thousand Horses, which is undoubtedly contributing to the demand.
